Trying to reason with hurricane season

Got to the Buffett show in time to tailgate for an hour and a half, which was better than nothing, but not as good as it can be.

About 2-3 songs in the rain started. Didn't even bother putting the poncho on. It came down so fast and hard I was soaked too fast for it to make any difference. The rain was bad I had trouble seeing through the water running down into my eyes. Brutal.

The rain stopped and then restarted later. By the time we walked out we could've wrung out our undies. We set up for tailgaiting with the grill and all after the show and it rained some more. Actually a lot more. Luckily, we had one of those instant shelter, ez up things.

After a little tailgaiting a truck came by and the Great Woods version of that mean, gun toting woman from Police Academy told use we had to pack up and leave. NOW!!! Even offers of pie wouldn't slow her.

The tent busted into multiple piece when we tried to take it down. Too much water on it that we couldn't get off the canopy. The think came down like a house of cards and snapped and bent in multiple places. Luckily, nobody was hurt.

All in all it was a good time, but because of the multiple headaches associated with the adventure, I told Mrs. noternie that we would have to do it again next year, so she can get the full, positive experience.
